This should come as no surprise to anyone who follows music or has heard "Fancy." Or anyone who's ever believed there's no such thing as bad publicity.
None of this controversy will be able to stop "Fancy." If anything-as was the case with Robin Thicke's ode to non-consent last summer-it will only grow more powerful with time, as the thinkpieces churn and more radio listeners absorb the catchy hook, a bouncy faux-DJ Mustard beat, and an Australian-American's dressed-up "rapcent." "Fancy" will be 2014's song of the summer, whether you like it or not. It paints a picture of Azalea as not the most thoughtful person to pick up a microphone, but when has that ever really been a limitation for rappers? Likely to add fuel to the fire is a collage of her tweets going around that draws attention to numerous suspect statements about race and sexuality. But more relevantly, she's yet another white face selling black art, the latest in a line of co-options which most recently inspired handwringing on a big stage with Robin Thicke. Iggy's rise hasn't been without controversy-for one thing, there was the time she seemingly accused this writer of being a middle-aged man in sandals over a vaguely negative review. 2, making Iggy the first recording artist since the Beatles to top the pops with her first two charting singles. It was followed up by another single featuring Iggy: Ariana Grande's "Problem," which climbed to No. This week, Iggy Azalea's Charli XCX-featuring single "Fancy" hit No.
